- Summary:
- Social scientists, law enforcement officials, and legal scholars, characterize organized crime that crosses borders as a plague spreading alongside increasing globalization. They look at theories, concepts, definitions, and laws; origins and manifestations; contagion and evolution; intensity and impact; governance; and reaction and the future. Among specific topics are social sciences myths, Nigerian organized crime, the foundations and evolution of the crime-terror nexus, transnational organized crime and the alternative culture industry, the endangered US empire, and the fight against organized crime in Russia.
